Abstract (en)

This arbitration method for send mode access to the synchronous transmission medium of a distributed switching network is applied to a network architectured around a transmission medium shared over time between various stations, and in which the said medium is structured into repetitive time positions, and in which, an ideal time position for access having been assigned, according to specified access criteria, respectively to the various stations communicating inside this network, overflows of the said stations from the ideal time positions thus assigned are authorised. This arbitration method enables an increasing priority of access to be obtained in respect of an increasing backlog of traffic due to these overflows. <IMAGE>
